    Lullaby (joking): Hey, that's your problem! I'm not gonna worry about your measly headaches after you've been out drinking all night! I'm not your nurse, buster!
    Â 
    Dream Lord: I'd laugh...but it wouldn't do me...any good. (He is still exhausted, but manages to smile a little at Lullaby.)

    Dream Lord: Not after...the things I've seen. It'll...be a long time... before I laugh again.

    Lullaby: And , you're still under 40! What else do you want , you big dummy?
    Â 
    Dream Lord (listening, but not laughing; he is still remembering his awful visions, the flashbacks he thought he had buried long ago): Nothing... is the same for me. I thought I was...the Dream Lord ...a hero...

    Dream Lord: ...going to be sick!!

    He rolls over onto the cloud to throw up, and Lullaby jumps out of the way.

    The Night Brigade has appeared on the cloud with the Dream Lord arid Lullaby, and the government dream agents are all ready for a fight. They have arrived to apprehend the Dream Lord and return him to reality.
    Â 
    There are six members of the Brigade:
    Â 
    NIGHT TERROR, a muscular, square-jawed man in his late 20's, with the power to create unreasoning, debilitating fear in victims.
    Â 
    CATNAP, a young, red-haired woman with the power to send people into brief, deep sleeps.
    Â 
    HANGOVER, a heavy, burly man in his early 30's with the power to create crushing hangovers.
    Â 
    SYMBOL, a thin, blonde man in his mid-20's who can change shape, represent anything.
    Â 
    SWEET DREAM, a beautiful, black-haired woman who can render victims helpless with pure pleasure.
    Â 
    COMA, a tall, thin, black man who has the ability to instantly plunge anyone into a deep coma.
    Â 
    Â 
    Night Terror (the group's leader and spokesman): Come with us, sir.

    This page will consist of two separate sets of panels, running in vertical columns and distinctly split down the middle of the page. The first set of panels, running along the left side of the page, introduces a narrative by a person describing his dreams, which are actually his impressions of action which he sensed in the Dream Zone. He thinks that the dreams are simply products of his own mind, and is unaware that he has tuned in to the Dream Lord's battle with the Night Brigade. This is similar to the technique used in
